Soon our phones will be so small we will need a special device to find them.
Accelerating electrons? Don’t they move at the speed of light? What the heck?!
My bad - electrons don’t go the speed of light - my mistake, sorry everybody!
You will be chipped so your phone can find you.....
Interesting. Spent my career building antennas and systemes, usually rather large. Hated requirements for small antennas.
Um, your phone will be that chip.
At least part of it anyway...
This is only possible with the sub miniaturization of the main Thelmannn wire circuitry.
They (electrons) move at a high fraction of the speed of light. But, since they have mass they can never achieve the full speed of light.
Makers of Chip Antennas will be happy to know this. http://www.vishay.com/chip-antenna/

"What hasn't been known is how the dielectric medium results in emission of electromagnetic waves. This mystery has puzzled scientists and engineers for more than 60 years."
The dielectric medium is considered a passive component and requires energy input to emit electrons.
Otherwise I think I understand the basic concept. I can only imagine its application in transmission of a radio signal. The reception is still going to be limited by the capture area of physical antenna.
That would be cool if they could uncouple the wavelength of the signal from the antenna size I’m excluding 1/8 and 1/4, etc. wavelengths.

You're right, it doesn't make sense as written. A noun (dielectric "medium" in this case) does not "result in the emission" of anything. That would require a causal verb of some sort, which is missing from this sentence.

I just wish some genius could make a Garage Door Opener antenna that actually worked so I don’t have to pull the nose of my car right up next to the door.
